Opening of Lincoln’s Coffin Reveals Well Preserved Remains
Lindley, then 14, recalls being summoned in 1901 to verify Lincoln’s sealed body in the tomb. About 23 Springfield residents gathered in the tomb’s reception hall as lead coffin was opened, revealing a chalky white face and preserved features. The coffin had not been opened since 1865, aside from a 14 year prior attempted theft. There had been a prior sealing after a 1901 inspection and a $100,000 bond for the tomb project.
